Where, oh where, has coin design gone?
Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
Well, just Love coins, period.

Token, not a coin.
Nice, but not a coin of the realm.
By recall, Modigliani was an artist at the Rome mint and designed many coins; I never claimed this specimen was a coin if you check the wording.
Point being, designs now are quite horrible by comparison.

You should see the 1911 50th anniversary of the Italian unification coins.
Ah, yes, one of my favorites that I've not managed to obtain. Beautiful!
Well, just Love coins, period.
From Italy where they appreciate women:
Italy 20 Centesimi 1921 Flying Lady
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies
Coins on Television
I love the color on that one!

Yes, out of my area but saw it at auction - those colors are what the coin actually has. What I like is the intricacy of detail.
The 20c above that WB shows is a better version of the US Platinum coin of 2-3 years ago.
Well, just Love coins, period.
That 1906 frontal face is really well done. Who at the U.S.Mint decides that todays coin designs can't use the classical Greco Roman style. Politicians should not be picking designs. Peace Roy

Early 20th century Italian coins - a number of beautiful classic designs. Here's another.
The pardon is for tyrants. They like to declare pardons on holidays, such as the birthday of the dictator, or Christ, or the Revolution. Dictators should be encouraged to keep it up. And we should be encouraged to remember that the promiscuous dispensation of clemency is not a sign of political liberality. It is instead one of those valuable, identifying marks of tyranny.

The Italian King from 1900 to 1946, Victor Emmanuel III, was a top notch Numismatist.
He supposedly had over 100,000 coins from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Unification of Italy.
Some of my favorite world coins are from Italy early 20th century

Wonder where Vic's collection went? Given it was Italy, gotta be a catalogue in archives on that accomplishment. Peace Roy

There were several auctions of VEIII coins the provas he commissioned are beautiful
Even though this token was considered a token the value has gone up considerably in the last few years and they are in the Italian catalog salong with the other token of the times the rarer are the gold ones of course. The red Cross ones are enameled
